    [CLASS BUILD] Don Juan - Dedicated Trap/Secret Finder - A More Laidback & Passive Rogue

    in Pillars of Eternity: Characters Builds, Strategies & the Unity Engine (Spoiler Warning!)

    Posted

    Look at you beautiful scientists,

     

    1. I'd drop Shadowing Beyond or Feign Death, no need for both. Probably hit another sweet new White March 2 ability. Cough* cough* 'buy our expansions' :).

    2. Wood Elf is all wrong. I'd hit a tankier race; Wild Orlan or Fire Godlike.

    3. Quickswitch.... thought you were going for minimal micro management?

    4. My tank Rogues always rocked shields, not sure how they'd match up to a duel wielder but grabbing Weapon Shield Style and sitting on Retaliates/Ripostes always worked well for me.

    3.04? Update on our next patch

    in Pillars of Eternity: Announcements & News

    Posted

    Hoping the OP is still an as of yet incomplete list of problems that will be fixed.  Didn't see anything about Torment's Reach on there, and I'm hoping to do a monk playthrough at some point with it not being op.

     

    Also, it looks like wall of draining is being looked at, but there was no mention of the main issue with it.  Which is that you can't walk out of it's effect once you've been hit by it.  If many characters get hit by it then it drains them nonstop until it goes away, no matter how far out of it they walk.  Not only does this mean you can no longer buff these characters at all, it also usually tends to completely kill FPS.  It is nice they may fix the fact that this can lead to 300 second duration arcane veils on enemy wizards though....

    To my knowledge the issue with Torments Reach is just that is has a goofy int scale ratio? Am I missing something?

    3.04? Update on our next patch

    in Pillars of Eternity: Announcements & News

    Posted

    This is not a bug but rather a feature request, which I totally understand not being possible at this stage. If so, then at least hopefully it will be an integral part of PoE2 and other future Obsidian games.

     

    I am hearing impaired, meaning I can hear (with a hearing aid) but have great difficulty following speech and especially electronically generated speech. Right now, words spoken by characters (party companions or NPCs) that are not directly addressed to the PC, i.e. background comments/conversations, do not show up on closed captioning or that conversation box in the bottom right corner. Sometimes there's a popup next to the character but not always, and it fades very quickly maybe before I've even noticed it. Just wondering if that conversation box can be set up to show any and all words spoken in the game no matter the context?

    Hey kanisatha,

     

    Can you be more specific? I was under the impression that all of our VO populates in our dialogue log.

    [update 4: 9/26] Tim Table Update and Balance Change;

    - We are about half way through our current test plan for the 3.04 patch, we should be finished by Friday. We will be releasing the Beta on Tuesday of next week. 

    - Sabre base damage will drop to 11-16, and it will have a +20% damage mod. They should still take the 'top damage' slot but this change should lower them enough to encourage other options. Let us know what you think during the Beta.

     

    Note: We are looking for lots of feedback during this Beta. There will be amazing, incredible, unbelievable super secret prizes for people who participate. More details on this will be announced soon.

    Veteran's Recovery better than Constant Recovery?

    in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)

    Posted

    Hey,

     

    I looked into this. Constant Recovery is a flat +5 per 3 second tic. Veterans Recovery is a scaling per second tic. At around level 9 or 10 Veterans Recovery overtakes Constant Recovery. Constant Recovery can be upgraded to Rapid Recovery which picks it up past Veterans Recovery. Rapid Recovery ends at +10 per 3 second tic. Veterans Recovery ends at +8 per 3 second tic. After speaking with systems, in retrospect we would have liked to switch Constant Recovery to scale and Rapid Recovery to increase it by a flat value which would keep both talents above Veterans Recovery. But, we think is acceptable the way it is.

     

    Thanks for bringing this up though. Helps us with are future titles.

    Party Management

    in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)

    Posted

    Hey Richardm,

     

    This along with your other post (Forum Link) are the same issue with Durance and Hiravius. The issue has to do with the auto-level up feature in the game options menu. We should have a fix for both these issues soon. Until then there are two things you can do to 'avoid' the issues. Turn off auto-level up before recruiting Hiravius or Durance. Or, you can purchase the White March expansions. You do NOT have to purchase the expansions, as we will have a fix soon. I just want to state if you do not want to wait for our next patch you can purchase the DLC which fixes the issues in the base game.

    Can't add Aloth to party & can't enter 2nd floor of Brighthollow

    in Pillars of Eternity: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)

    The post which contains the fix: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/88124-game-breaking-bug-cannot-change-party-303/?p=1829224

     

    Will mark this as solved, though I'm not sure I agree that buying and installing the expansions is a valid fix.

    We have a fix for this issue that will retroactively fix previous saves effected by it. You do not need to buy the DLC if you are okay with waiting for the next patch. I just wanted to state that if you do not want to wait for the next patch, you can buy the DLC and it will fix the issue.
